Daniel 5:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ They drank their wine and praised their gods of gold and silver, of bronze and iron, of wood and stone.

⁵ Suddenly, the fingers of a human hand appeared and began to write on the plaster of the wall of the royal palace next to the lampstand, and the king watched the hand as it wrote. ⁶ Then the king turned pale, and his thoughts terrified him. His legs grew limp, and his knees began to knock.
